WASHINGTON, March 1.-The aggregate
increase to the naval appropriation bill by
the senate committee on appropriations is
between S21, 900, 900 and $22 600. 900. but
inasmuch as the largest expenditures cover
period of five years, it is estimated that
the additional appropriation for the next
fiscal year will not exceed Sc. 600, 600.
which will raise the aggregate eX-
penditure for the year to between
$31, 0OO,00 and S32. 900, 600. The SEN
ate committee strikes out the house provis-
ion OF 50, 470, 900 for two steel cruisers and
substitutes an appropriation of SO, 600, 600
for six protected steel cruisers and S12, OOO,-
600 to pay premiums to extra speed for same.
1t also appropriates $2.8S0, 600 for the
armament of these vessels. An appropria-
tion of s6, 600, 600 is made for the construc-
tion of heavily armored vessels and floating
batteries and rams, and of $4,000, 900 for

CHICAGO, March 1.-The Union League
committee on political action tonight SUBJ
mitted report embodying its entire cor
respondence with James Russell Lowell
concerning the address delivered by him
under the auspices of the club on Washing
toms birthday. The correspondence shows
that Mr.. Lowell accepted an invitation
to lecture on american Politics." Ac-
cording to the committees report the
representatives of the club were not in
formed by Mr.. Lowell that he had subse-
quently decided to speak Oh a literary SUBJ
ject. The correspondence also in
dicates that Mr.. Lowell was
invited to be the guest of
the president of the club. during
his stay in the city, but Mr.. Lowell
declined on the ground that he had ac-
cepted the hospitality of another gentle

The state Of Legis,ation.

WASHINGTON. March AT midnight
Senator Allison, chairman of the senate
committee OH appropriations. who was still
engaged with the other conferees on the
sundry civil bill, said to a reporter that the
prospect of getting through the necessary
work on Appropriation bills and thus avoid
ing the necessity of a called session.
amounted to quite probability. The
naval bill would be taken up by the
senate tomorrow and would prob
ably be passed and sent to
a conference during the day.
The legislative and deficiency bills had this
evening reached the senate, ana the COM
mittee on appropriations, by continuous
work, might get them before the senate
Wednesday night or Thursday in time for
action before Thursday night. Probably
no attempt would be made to pass a new
fortlfication bill, that for last year being
still Incomplete. The conference report on
the sundry civil bill would probably be pre-
pared before the committee adjourned to-
night. Notwithstanding, he added, it is in
the power of any member of either house to
so delay matters as to make an extra ses-
sion probable.

LONDON, March LIN the house of COM
mons tonight George Howell, member for
Bethnal Green. an advanced Liberal. asked
the government to assent to the appoint
ment of a committee to inquire into corrupt
expenditures by the corporation Of London
on bogus meetings, the audiences at which
were hired to be present, for the purpose Of
defeating the bill for the reform of the
London government. Mr.. Howell said he
had seen documents which proved that
members OF the corporation had diverted
EGO, 600 OF public moneys in an effort to
defeat the measure before parliament. Mr..
Gladstone declared that the matter was of
the greatest Importance. and that an in
quiry must be granted in order to prove
whether or not the greatest corporation in
the country had missued its trust and
adopted illegal methods to pervert public
opinion or control legislative action. W.
81. Smith, first lord of the treasury, with
out admitting the truth of the
| charges, assented to the appoint
| ment OF a committee of inquiry.
The government was loath to consent to
the demands of the Radicals in the house of
| commons for committee to inquire into
the charge that the London corporation
was using public moneys in sham agita-
ton against reforms, but it did not dare to
refuse an investigation. The settings of
the committee will be public. 1t is claimed
there are abundant proofs that public
money has been used In getting up bogus
meetings and petitions, and it is asserted
that on the corporations accounts sums
are put down as having been paid to per-
sons who in reality have no existence. The
evidence, it is said, does not incriminate the
higher members of the corporation, as in
dividuals. although it shows that they as
sented to loose general application of the
city'S funds.

who eXacted fees amounting to so, 40 and
so per cent He argued that they should
be paid, not to attorneys, but directly to
the claimants. He moved to strike out the
amendment reported by the committee on
claims. which makes the drafts payable to
the orders of the claimants, but deliverable
to their attorneys, or agents who have filed
powers of attorney. Mr.. Harris moved to
amend the provision so as to leave the treas
ury department to act in the matter Of
payment under its own rules and regula
tiOns. Mr.. Sherman assented to that propo-
Sition and the bill was so amended. The
bill was then passed. without division. and
conference was asked. On motion of Mr..
Evarts the house joint resolution for a gold
medal, to be presented to John Francis for
valuable life-saving inventions, was then
taken up. Mr.. COckreil opposed the bill.
claiming that Mr.. Francis was not the in
ventor of the lfe-boat. Pending discussion
the legislative appropriation bill was re-
ceived from the house, read first and sec
ond time and referred to the committee on
appropriations.

KILLED by the Cars.

PITTsBURG, March There was a
frightful accident at Loudonville station on
the Fort Wayne road this morning. A
young man named Bender, son of a wealthy
farmer, was driving team of horses

train rounded a curve only short distance
away, running at the rate of forty miles an
hour. The engineer exclaimed to his fire.

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
of the Order Cam be Faithful Sons
OF the Church..

Cardinal Gibbons Thinks Members
of the Order Cam be Faithful Sons
OF the Church.
ROME, March IA correspondent is
authorized to state that the American
bishops take a favorable view of the organi-
zation known in the United States as the
Knights of Labor. Cardinal Gibbons has
placed before the vatican formal state
ment as to the nature of the organization,
and the attitude the church should adopt
toward it. The cardinal says in this that
he considers any condemnation of the
Knights to be not only useless but highly
inopportune and might ALLEVIATE the SYM
pathy Of the American laboring classes
from the church and hamper the mission of
the church to the laboring poor
In addition to the above posi-
tions recommended by the statement
of Cardinal Gibbons, the primate treats the
alarmist theories respecting the Knights of
Labor as puerile, and says nearly one-third
of the men belonging to the organization
are Roman Catholics. Respecting the
charge that the association is a secret order
the cardinal says it is not secret society in
the sense condemned by the church, conse-
quently it is exempt from canonical cen
sure. In Canada the case is different. Car
dinal Gibbons further says he considers the
organization of the Knights of Labor in the
United States not only harmless, but posi-
bly, it may be beneficial in assisting in the
eventual settlement of the great question of
the proper relations between labor and cap
ital.

snow i'm Canada.

OTTAWA, Ont, March 1.-Railroad men
say that the recent snowstorm was unpre-
cedented in the history of railroading in
Canada. Trains in every quarter have
been showed up for three days and relief
parties with provisions to keep the impris-
oned passengers from starving have to be
sent out on snowshoes. Several of the
ministers of the crown on their way here to
attend an important meeting of the
cabinet in connection with the fisheries
question are showed up and cannot reach
the city. Lumbermen report that there
is from twelve to twenty feet Of snow in
the woods and that it is impossible to do
anything in getting out logs. The lumber
trade will sustain great loss and there js
certain to be great scarcity of logs in the
spring. 1t is also feared that, owing to the
enormous depth of snow in the woods,
there will be tremendous floods and fresh
cts when the spring opens.

LONDON. March 1.-The fishermen in

ing the earthquake noticed that the sea had
retreated yard more than usual. In
stinctively feeling that something was
about to happen, they remained the whole
night in their boats. The inhabitants of

walls of the houses. being well built, with

buried at Diano Marino, only
$50 were identified. Five thousand
persons there are still camping out. The
air is becoming horribly offensive, owing
to the stencil arising from the corpses that
are yet in the ruins. The structures in
which the injured at Rajardo were sheltered
were blown down by the wind. and before
the helpless patients could be removed they
were all covered with snow and half dead
